She mentioned that in the earlier part of the century, American women traveled to the Mexico hot springs for health treatments. Sometimes illicit relationships with young Mexican gigolos ensued. I was immediately intrigued."

But it took COVID19 to give him a break from his usual job to finish the screenplay. "I had the draft in my drawer for almost 30 years. With little else to do during the shutdown, I finished the screenplay in June."
